The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is one of the largest and oldest voluntary health organizations operating in Canada. Each year, CMHA divisions and branches across Canada provide service to more than 1.3 million Canadians annually through the combined efforts of more than 10,000 volunteers and 5,000 staff in locally run organizations in more than 300 communities in every province.[2] Its functions are to provide the resources and programs necessary to combat mental health issues and support recovery. The CMHA runs multiple programs a year focused on raising awareness for mental health issues while supporting partner organizations and relevant initiatives. The association is also known to release public statements addressing different laws, regulations, and governmental initiatives that affect mental health.

Our key values and principles include:
- Embracing the voice of people with mental health issues and addictions
- Promoting inclusion
- Working collaboratively
- Influencing the social determinants of health (e.g. housing, justice)
- Focusing on the mental health needs of all age groups
- Using evidence to inform our work
- Being transparent and accountable

Using a Person-Centered approach, we believe any individual who is experiencing mental illness is at the forefront of any supportive mental health system. Through our community education and peer support services, we aim to foster and develop healthy living and positive relationships in order to improve mental health and wellbeing.
